Ever found yourself staring blankly at a park map, sweat beading on your brow, desperately trying to figure out which rides are actually worth the wait? You're not alone! Join your hosts, Haley and Owen, in this week's adrenaline-fueled episode of The Pain & Panicked Trip Planning Podcast as they dive headfirst into the ultimate theme park debate: Disney vs. Universal - The Ride Edition!

Forget polite comparisons – Haley and Owen are laying it all on the line, dissecting everything from the whimsical storytelling of Disney's classics to the heart-pounding thrills of Universal's blockbusters. They'll be comparing iconic attractions, dissecting wait times (and the associated existential dread!), and arguing (good-naturedly, mostly!) about which park truly reigns supreme in the ride department.
